Description:
Erythranthe guttata, known as Yellow Monkey Flower, is a representative member of the Mimulus genus, which includes over 150 species; E.guttata is endemic to Northern California.
Due to their extensive variation in floral morphology, pollinators, growth habit and ecological niche, Mimulus have been extensively used in the study of evolutionary biology and ecological systems.
